"Singing a play for ghosts?" Li Huowang's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He knew from the name that it was not a good word.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just go to the ancestral hall to sing in front of the ancestors."
"Since it's nothing, then why doesn't Leader Lu do this business himself?" Li Huo asked immediately, and he knew it wasn't that simple.
"Oh, my, this is my first time, and I feel a little guilty, so I want to ask an expert like you to stay by my side so that we can do this business with peace of mind."
"Leader Lu, I really can't help you with this." Normally it's too late to hide, so how can I have time to provoke him now?
Although there was a possibility that nothing would happen, he didn't want to gamble.
At best, he and Lu Zhuangyuan were only traveling together, so they really couldn't afford to risk their lives to help him.
If he really doesn't want to continue to be a guide because of this matter, and the worst he can do is break up, he can just go to the village and ask himself, there are so many people in the village, are there any people who don't know the way?
"Hey, hey, little Daoist, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet. How about we split the cost of the drinks for this show half way?"
When it came to money, Lu Zhuangyuan danced and gestured. "I didn't want to accept it before, but this is not a small amount of money. Master Hu is so generous! He gave me a full ten taels of silver!"
"One tael of silver is equivalent to a thousand copper coins, and ten taels of silver is equivalent to ten thousand copper coins! My little Taoist master! Ten taels of silver! You just want to practice Taoism and become an immortal, but you have to eat before you become an immortal, right?"
Li Huowang stopped immediately. He looked at the two bags of dried sweet potatoes next to him. He really needed money now.
And it's not just about food. When you get to Jianye Town, you can also expect to spend a lot of money. As long as the world is made up of people, it will be difficult to move without money.
"Little Taoist Master, can I beg you, old man? If it doesn't work, how about you and me and you and me? It's not easy to make so much money these days!" Lu Zhuangyuan cried sadly and continued to persuade Li Huowang.
If the master doesn't come, he really doesn't dare to take this job. After all, no matter how much money he has, he has the life to spend it.
Li Huowang suddenly turned to look at Lu Zhuangyuan, "Is there a blacksmith in this village?"
"What?"
Under the leadership of Lu Zhuangyuan, Li Huowang was taken to the only blacksmith shop in Wuligang.
"What are you going to fight for?" The bearded man with his bare upper body looked at Li Huowang's robe and asked rudely.
"If you don't forge iron, you can repair something that cannot be knocked or melted. Can you restore this thing?" Li Huowang took out the copper bell and asked.
If it can be repaired and I can summon Mr. You, then maybe I can really get the money, otherwise it will be too hot to hold on to.
"It can't be knocked or melted? What a stinky problem." The blacksmith reached out and took the copper bell and swung it a few times, then took out two iron pliers. "Here, come here and help me."
The pliers were very long and could easily reach into both sides of the deflated copper bell. The two of them gritted their teeth and tried hard, but the bell did not move at all. This result was not surprising and was reasonable.
"Eh~! That's strange. Why is this thing made of copper? Why is it so hard?" The curious blacksmith bent his knuckles and was about to strike, but Li Huowang stopped him.
Looking at the two pliers clamping the wall of the copper bell, Li Huowang thought for a while, poured out a pill from a palm-sized gourd on his waist and stuffed it into his mouth.
This was the elixir Danyangzi had given him as a reward. He had taken one pill when he saved Yang Na in the mental hospital. He had taken one pill when he killed Danyangzi and had taken another pill today. Only two pills were left.
"Buzz" a burst of hot air instantly exploded from the Dantian point and surged throughout Li Huowang's body.
He took a deep breath, grabbed the pliers on one side with one hand and pulled hard.
"Two people can't open it, how can you think of it alone-" Just as the blacksmith was mid-sentence, he heard a creaking sound, and the shriveled copper bell actually opened so steadily.
When the blacksmith opened his mouth to its maximum, the copper bell returned to its original shape.
"Hey, what's the point? Let me tell you, the little Taoist master is very profound." Lu Zhuangyuan proudly showed off to the blacksmith, as if in his heart Li Huowang was omnipotent and nothing was unexpected.
Li Huowang left the village and returned to the woods outside alone.
Looking at the copper bell in his hand, he started to ring it with some expectation.
As the bell rang, the dizzy feeling immediately appeared. This time Li Huowang did not stop, but gritted his teeth and shook hard.
He felt that everything around him was spinning, and the lines of the branches around him began to twist, deviate from their original positions, and gradually began to condense and take shape.
"There's something going on!" Li Huowang's heartbeat was beating fast at this time.
Accompanied by the piercing ringtone, Mr. You, whom he had not seen for a long time, reappeared in front of him, but this time there was only one.
Mr. You looks like a high-frequency trembling thing made up of various twisted lines, and his body is completely amorphous.
Li Huowang couldn't stare at it for too long. He felt that if he stared at it for too long, it would scatter.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, something suddenly occurred to him. He bent down and dug up a piece of wet mud from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.
The taste of mud was unpleasant, but he still forced himself to speak.
"Do you know what's wrong?" He wanted to ask Master You if he could understand what he was saying, but the voice he spoke turned into a very weird melody after being processed by the distorted environment.
No matter what Li Huowang said, Mr. You actually responded. "Lou Huanzhi."
This made Li Huowang ecstatic. With Master You's help, his strength would greatly increase!
"If Rui can speak, he must be beaten?" Li Huowang leaned forward and asked the most critical question.
Mr. You stopped where he was without being arrogant or arrogant, and responded slowly but firmly: "嵵嶯, 栠生戉匘 Bang, 玃."
Li Huowang's brows gradually wrinkled. "Yes, yes."
"嵵寯, 栠shou 扈匘国, 玃."
When he saw Mr. You continuing to repeat the previous sentence, Li Huowang sighed softly in his heart. Sure enough, there was no pie in the sky, and there was a price to pay for driving Mr. You.
And the price is nothing else, but a person's lifespan, which is three months of life after one act.
When Li Huowang asked the other party again whether Danyangzi had exchanged things like this before, Mr. You stopped talking.
The ringing gradually stopped, and Li Huowang returned to Wuligang after holding his head with a splitting headache and resting there for a while.
"Little Taoist Master, what are you..." Lu Zhuangyuan looked at his mouth full of mud and hesitated to speak.
"I agree to the deal you just told me." Li Huowang said, clenching the copper bell in his hand.
"Oh! That's great! I'm just going to talk to Mr. Hu!" Lu Zhuangyuan was overjoyed when he heard this.
